Mosquitoes do not get malaria because malaria is a disease caused in humans by a parasite carried by mosquitoes, Plasmodium spp. When mosquitoes feed off the blood of an infected human, they also absorb the Plasmodium spp parasite. However, the Plasmodium spp. itself is not what causes malaria, and therefore cannot get a mosquito sick. Only when it reacts with the blood in a humans body does it take effect and cause the disease malaria. Mosquitoes then simply act as neutral hosts for the parasite before they land and release the Plasmodium spp. into the next human.
